In 1904, the invading British burned down the manor, and it was eventually moved to present-day Banqug Lhaunbo Village in 1937. Hence, it was also called Banqug Lhunbo Manor.

Prior to the Dempcratic Reform in 1959, the manor enjoyed a good status, with the Parlha clan owning 37 submanors, 12 pasturelands, 1,000 hectares of farmland, 14,000 head of domestic animals and more than 3,000 serfs and slaves in Gyangze, Bainang, Kangam and Lhasa.

The Bangqug Lhunbo Manor itself owned some 100 serfs and slaves. The manor was magnificent in structure, with 82 rooms covering a total area of 5,357.5 square meters. It was complete with sutra halls, sitting rooms, living chambers and a hall where the three owners played card games.

Room pillars and beams were carved in a luxurious way; the sutra halls were elegantly furnished; the living chambers were complete with gold, silver and jade objects that glittered in the lamplight; there was also expensive kitchenware, foreign wines, foreign vinegars, and precious fur lined garments….

All these form a sharp contrast with huts owned by household slaves. Prior to 1959, 20 percent of the people in the village were household slaves, totaling 60 people in 14 households living in the Household Slaves' Courtyard.

They lived on weaving cardian cushions and woolen fabrics, cooking, brewing and tailoring. Due to small space, with the per-capita share of living space amounting to only 2.5 square meters, however, many of the household slaves slept in the open air. The manor owners often forced old people to leave the courtyard. What is more, children of household slaves were born into slavery themselves.
